The existence of films like Rajinikanth’s latest Kaala suggests that the world’s largest film industry could stand to gain from films which talk about caste.
In an industry dominated by the upper caste elite, director Pa Ranjith said his latest film Kaala starring Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is an attempt to redefine the Dalit representation in Indian cinema.

Caste as a theme is not common in mainstream Bollywood cinema. However, the existence of films like Kaala suggests that the world’s largest film industry could stand to gain from films which talk about caste.

So why hasn’t Bollywood tried its hand at films with better Dalit representation? And when was the last time a mainstream hero openly played a Dalit character?
